As others have said, ads are psychological warfare, and I want no part in that.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
The default assumption should be that corporations (especially large and powerful ones) lie all the time, unless proven otherwise.
Or that their correct PR statement is temporary at best and subject to change at any time, without notice, etc. etc.
I expect that YT will continue to get worse as long as they hold a dominant position, and I don't intend to wait until they're as bad and expensive as cable before resisting.
In fact, isn't the strategy YT is pursuing here (offer a service below cost to capture a market then raise costs after destroying the competition) illegal?
